She closed her eyes at the sound of approaching footsteps which silenced after a few seconds. The bedside lights turned off and the room drowned in darkness like before.

After crying so much, she felt so depressed that she had turned a few lights on. Right now, her head was throbbing painfully.

There was a dip on the other side of the bed and room immersed in silence.

The King-sized bed felt so large for the first time they came here as they were sleeping so far away from each other.

She sighed softly before biting her nails. Realizing how childish it was, she stopped doing it and tapped her wrist thinking about how beautiful the world could have been if the exes never existed.

"Are you asleep?" Jun Zixuan asked as he glanced at the ceiling under the pale moonlight.

"Mmm," Yu Mei pressed a palm on her mouth. Which sleeping person would respond to someone's question?

"So, you don't want to talk to me?" He asked.

She blinked. It was him who started the cold war between them, "Don't you dare pick a fight with me. I am mentally and emotionally provoked already. I might bite you," Bite you? That sounded weird and inappropriate but alas words could not be taken back. She slapped her forehead.

"Pandas are fond of biting, I guess" Jun Zixuan muttered under his breath expressionlessly.

"I heard that," She turned around immediately before sitting on the bed and glaring at his silhouette under the dim moonlight, "All you do is fight with me, don't you? You...Ah-"

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her towards him swiftly such that she landed on him. With one hand around her waist and the other below her head, he turned to the side.

And they laid side by side with her being tucked in his arms like a precious treasure.

She had the urge to push him away but unwillingly, she snuggled closer to him. Unwillingly. Yes, very unwillingly. She was not at all craving to be hugged by him.

"Call your family panda, I am a goddess. I'll go find myself another man if you can't appreciate my divine beauty," She snapped at him as she rubbed her face on his chest, taking in his manly scent.

Her headache was getting better already. This man is such an addiction.

"Try it," His voice deepened.

"Try what?"

"Try finding another man so that I don't have a reason to hold back anymore. We will do it until you don't have an ounce of energy left within you to think about anything else," His voice was serious without a hint of joke within it.

She could feel her face turning hot and her fingers trembled slightly as his fingers glided up her her back, slowly and meaningfully. "I have a headache."

"Sleep then. Don't touch me here and there unless you want something else."

Her finger that was drawing circles on his chest twitched slightly.

His fingers weaved through her hair, "Close your eyes. You will feel better when you wake up."

"Umm. I have already closed my eyes. You are distracting me by talking," She smiled.

He pinched her waist, "I hate you, you know?"

"Uh-huh," The curve of her lips got wider, "I hate you too," She closed her eyes.

...

Mia walked out of the bathroom donned in a robe as she walked towards the bed before slumping on it.

Today's morning was no different than yesterday. She was dreaming about Han Jian Yu again but ended up biting him in real.

And the man locked her in this room after the breakfast so that she could reflect on her actions.

'Click'

She glanced at the direction of the sound.

The door to her room opened and she quickly switched to her fox form as she watched the man walking towards her with a plate in his hand.

"Did you reflect on your actions?" He asked, sitting beside her.

Mia wagged her fluffy tail indicating a 'yes'. She could not help but ponder why she was even cajoling the man to this extent.

Han Jian Yu nodded, pleased with her response, "Have your lunch then," He was glad that she was capable of feeding herself without his help.

Mia gladly did as she was told. She was hungry. And one should never go against a handsome man's words.

Han Jian Yu quietly glanced at her while she sat elegantly and ate her food on the bed. It was quite astounding to witness but he was getting used to it. The fox was certainly special and he was coming to accept it.

He glanced at the small crimson lotus birthmark on her forehead which was partially hidden beneath her fur. He extended his hand and grazed his thumb past her silky fur.

Mia's ears twitched as the man stroked her like that. She bared her teeth at him. How did he want her to keep eating while causing such distraction?

Her Highness is cute but that doesn't means you can touch her here and there as you wish. Mia turned her face to the side as she pouted, two suspicious red patches appeared on her cheeks.

Han Jian Yu retracted his hand as he glanced at the baby fox. Why did she look like a shy teenager? He massaged his forehead realizing that he must be very tired to merge the image of an animal with a human. "Keep eating till you are full. Don't whine to me if you are hungry," Han Jian Yu stood up from the bed as he glanced at the obedient looking little thing, "Stay here and reflect on your actions from the morning. You should know what you did wrong," With that said, he walked out of the room slamming the door behind him.

Mia swiftly transformed to her human form as she glanced at the food. She didn't really need to eat in order to survive now that she has regained her powers. But man's adoration for her ran so deep that he made this food with his own two well-toned, sexy and gorgeous hands and she could not bring herself to break his heart by not eating it.
